On the flrnt dny of the Lyceum Fes tival Miss Mary Agnes Doyle will pre sent Teg o' My Heart." MUw Doyle tins hurt Ki'ent aiioccx upon the. stage nnd In the portrayals of character. She lins always been heartily welcomed. Her voice Is pleasing nnd Irish brogue delightful. Her facial expression la especially suited to this character, ns she possesses nil unusually attractive smile. Miss I'oyle's talent for her work Is shown particularly In the changing of her expression, voice nnd manner when she turns from tho cold, exacting, supercilious Englishwoman; the weak, "big headed," mercenary young Englishman the Indifferent cynical daughter, Ethel; the true gen tleman, Jerry, and then back to Veg. the dear little Irish girl. The piny "Peg o' My Heart" Is well known. Tho author, J. Hartley Mini- MISS MARY A. DOYLE. nersnknew well the desire of nn Amer ican audience. The play is undoubt edly the triumph of the decade. It Is sweetness and cleanliness that have enhanced its wonderful popularity. It Is a comedy of charm. The story deals with Peg, tho daughter of an Improvi dent but lovable Iilghriuu, nnd an aristocratic Englishwoman, on whom her relatives turned their backs when Rhe set out for America with the hus band of her choice. By the will of one of Teg's uncles, who repented on his deathbed his uuklndness toward his sister, the little Irish mnldcn Is brought to England to be properly reared at the expense of his estate, t'eg Is received into the family of an aunt, not from love, but for the sake of the money that her enre nnd In struction would bring. Her treatment Is hardly that of a favorite relative. She finds little to make life pleasant They dislike her, but Peg holds her own with Jaunty pride, nnd in tho end, by her generosity nnd big heartedness, she wins her fortune nnd, what's more, n very gallant lover. Her experience as portrayed Rets forth vividly tho con trast between her rather uncouth man ner nnd the stilled nnd conventional Mys of tho Engllsli household. Seldom does one have nn opportuni ty of henrlng so fascinating an Imper sonation of such a delightful play. The great nppreclntlon for the play is shown by tho fact that It has tho phe nomenal record of having been given 004 consecutive times In Nov York. r . vf N 1 K J ' 1 if .; . ,--'..5J "- .. h: ?j i h ' 1 v Lull . !

BUTT Candidate for President Judge of the 51st Judicial District Composed of the Counties of Adams and Fulton. To the Voters of Adams and Fulton' Counties: J. L. Putt asks your judgment on his candidacy for President Judge of your Courts of Common Pleas at the Primary September 21, with your vote cast in his favor. Mr. Butt has given you a clean, square and hon orable campaign, just like the man he is. It has not been built upon attacks upon opponents. Mr. Butt has told you that he would never have been in the Campaign if he had not had the backing of eight of his associates at the Bar, asking him to become a Candidate, a backing no other candidate has. The first name on the letter his brother law yer associates addressed him was that of the late Judge Wm. McClean. Attorneys always seek to elevate to the Bench one who has always proven himself honorable in all his relations with his asso ciates, fully qualified and learned in the law. Mr. Butt prepared himself thoroughly for his chosen profession of the law by graduating from Gettysburg College, reading law in the office of J. C. Necly, one of the ablest lawyers at the Bar at the time, and beginning the practice of the law in one of the busiest offices, that of J. A. Kitzmiller. Some idea of Mr. Butt's experience in comparison with that of the man attacking him can be gathered from the following facts: In the last fifteen years Mr. Butt has been the attorney in the settlement of 213 estates, while Mr. McPherson was the counsel in 93 estates, an expe rience of more than two to one in favor of Mr. Butt. In the bringing of original actions, assumpsits and trespasses, attachments, replevins, ejectments, etc., the records show that Mr. Butt in the past fifteen years has instituted 75 actions while Mr. McPher son has 23 to his credit, again an experience of three to one. Mr. Butt is the attorney of record in judgments entered of more than three to one against Mr. McPherson. Mr. Butt has given you a fair, square answer to the license questions, that he will "impartially and conscientiously" do his duty under the law and the decisions of the higher courts. Every voter can understand this. It is the only proper answer that a candidate should give under the law and decisions of the Superior and Supreme Courts. Now, Mr. Voter, approval of the candidacy of Mr. Butt is asked. Make it a winning campaign for Mr. Butt-Pol. Advt. German Hems. War news, compiled especially for Fulton county, may be stated in the following condensed form: 1st. By reason of the German embargo on potash we must do without it. 2nd.
